1925 The city health officer today urged that San Antonians desist from kissing until the current epidemic of colds go away. He admitted his proposal is impractical.
1975 That "Little Ol' Band from Texas," ZZ Top, plays a concert in Convention Center Arena. The Ramiro Cervera Orchestra opens the show.
2004 The city's newest hotel, the 82-bed Comfort Inn Alamo/Riverwalk, opens in the old Bexar County Jail Building on Camaron Street (right). Bars that prevented inmates from escaping through the jail's many windows along the sides of the building were cut to meet fire code requirements, but the bars remain in place on the front façade and backside facing South Flores Street a half-block away.
